Notes

Bio Note

Archie Dumont Mower, one of the successful and energetic real estate men of Auburn, Maine, and a man who has made his personality felt in his chosen field, is a member of an old Old Maine family, which has made its residence in the "Pine Tree State" for a number of generations and the members of which have become closely identified with the life of the various communities in which they have dwelt. His grandfather on the paternal side of the house was Albion P. Mower, who resided at Greene, Maine, and was a soldier in the Civil War. He was a merchant at Greene, Maine, and was very prominent in the affairs of that community. He married a Miss Larrabee, by whom he had three children, all of whom are now living, namely, Augustus Albion, who is mentioned below; Erlon J., who resides in Auburn, Maine, where he is engaged as a shoemaker; and Eva, who became the wife of Alberto E. Jordan, of Brunswick, Maine. Augustus Albion Mower, father of Archie Dumont Mower, was born at Greene, Maine, but later removed to Auburn, Maine, where he at presents resides. He married Jennie Glidden, a native of Newry, Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Mower were the parents of one child, Archie Dumont Mower. Born July 9, 1869, at Auburn, Maine, Archie Dumont Mower has made this city his home. As a boy he attended grammar schools from which he was graduated when fourteen years of age, and immediately entered the employ of the Franklin Company, one of the largest real estate companies of the city, and thus began an association which has continued every since. The Franklin Company is situated at No. 112 Park street, Auburn, and conducts a successful business. Mr. Mower devotes his entire time to this business and is now exceedingly well known in real estate circles. Mr. Mower is a member of the Order of the Knights of the Golden Eagle. In his religious belief he is a Baptist. He is an enthusiast of out-door sports in general, fishing, hunting, etc., in which pastimes he always spends such vacations as he permits himself from his business. These holidays he takes in the autumn and at once goes to some place in the wilderness where he may gratify his taste in this direction to the full. Archie Dumont was united in marriage June 22, 1898, at Auburn, Maine, with Estella Maria Packard, of Auburn, where she was born June 21, 1871, a daughter of John M. and Maria (Swan) Packard. Mr. Packard before his death, which occurred May 19, 1915, at the age of sixty-nine years, was associated with the T. A. Huston Cracker & Confectionery Company of Auburn, being a partner of Mr. Huston.
